Time lapse using RAW files stabilize image

How can I stabilize the image in AE." Find stationary high-contrast points in image. Apply AE Motion Stabilizer to layer. Picture no move. [James Mulryan] "How can I smooth out the exposure?" You can TRY to fix it with the Color Stabilizer effect, but that implizes that you'd have part of the image with a consistent color. Or ------ instead of trying to fix it in post, which can at best be a right royal pain and can at worst be impossible, and which can often yield less than satisfactory results, you could try something else. Use the lessons you just learned about shooting time-lapses, re-shoot and be much, Much, MUCH happier with the result. It's not like there will never be another sunset, y'know.

It all depends on how you lock down the camera. If I really wanted a stabile shot using one of those big 'ol still camera lenses, and the wind shook the camera locked down on the tripod, I could only come to one conclusion: the tripod is inadequate for the task at hand. There's nothing that says you HAVE to use a tripod. Think like McGyver, and brainstorm where to attach a mounting plate: a tree trunk, a retaining wall, the side of a building... you get the idea. Likewise, there's nothing that says you have to use the tripod as intended. Can you lash it to telephone pole or a light pole? I bet you can come up alternate ways to use it.
